Police are on the sought for two perpetrators after they attacked Bush Radio’s sister station, Zibonele FM’s CEO, Mawande Jara, at his place of residence in Makhaza, Zone 14 on Sunday evening.

Two robbers entered the premises and one of them was armed with a firearm. Upon entering they forced him to lie down whilst they ransacked the house looking for valuables.

‘’He managed to raise alarm in the neighbourhood and was rushed to hospital where he was treated and discharged on Monday morning. The robbers are still at large and police are busy with investigations.’’ Added Nokhatywa.
